What to wear to a festival this summer

Festivals are famously unpredictable, so plan your wardrobe as carefully as your lineup. Avoid flip-flops or white trainers when the field turns to mud, and embrace the freedom to experiment with bolder or playful pieces while staying practical. For women, a ready-made coord—like the Lone Star Daughters Float Away Day-j set—takes the guesswork out of getting dressed, while high-waist denim shorts from Sézane offer an unfussy staple.

Hunter wellies protect against rain, a seersucker shirt from With Nothing Underneath makes a light evening layer, and small accessories such as the Free People Kori pendant are handy for packing light. Consider Mint Velvet balloon trousers or the Free People convertible maxi skirt to keep hems away from mud, top up sunscreen with a Naked Sundays SPF spray, and use a Monty recycled nylon bag for easy cleaning.

Men should opt for compact carrying solutions like the Uniqlo round mini shoulder bag or cargo trousers with pockets.
